You know my feelings on it, but I'll say it publicly. I think the clubs could/should replace the MinnCentric section of the site, with the exception of the Questions forum. And maybe a little descriptor on how clubs function would be helpful. Clubs are like mini-websites within a larger website. So, for example, you could have a non-baseball sports club. And within in that you would have various topic forums for Football, Basketball, Hockey, Other Sports, Gaming and Leisure Sports, etc ... each topic is its own forum for you start various discussion threads. So, in the football forum you can start threads to discuss the NFL Draft, the Vikings, Gophers, NCAA bowl games, etc ... and a forum for each of the things I named.
We could have an Arts and Culture club to discuss movies, series television, music, books, cooking, crafting, home decor projects, etc ...
The possibilities are pretty endless. I think most discussion topics could be covered in 3 or 4 clubs ... and then each club can handle a myriad of topic forums and discussion threads within.
